Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.
quran:37:86

Is it falsehood ˹as˺ gods other than Allah you desire?  

Is it a calumny (a-ifkan, as regards the two hamzas, the same applies as mentioned before) — gods other than God — that you desire? (ifkan is an object denoting reason; ālihatan is the direct object of turīdūna, ‘you desire’; ifk denotes the worst kind of lie). In other words: do you worship ˹any˺ other than God?
القرآن:٣٧:٨٦

أَئِفْكًا آلِهَةً دُونَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ  

{أئفكا} في همزتيه ما تقدم {آلهة دون الله تريدون} وإفكا مفعول له، وآلهة مفعول به لتريدون والإفك: أسوأ الكذب، أي أتعبدون غير الله؟.
